That sounds like an awful device to run Gentoo on. Compiling on a 256 MB Raspberry Pi 1 Model B is of course no joy. Before mine broke, I plugged the SD card into another, faster ARM computer, chrooted in and emerged updates. That was ok. I'd like to require libglvnd for all libGL providers and get rid of app-eselect/eselect-opengl. What do you suggest we do about raspberrypi-userland? I suggest to drop eselect-opengl and its dependency in raspberrypi-userland. raspberrypi-userland installs into /opt anyway so should not conflict with anything else. And those people who really need acceleration on 256 MB devices will have to set the proper environment variables. Best regards, Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn

It provides libGL, libGLESv1_CM, libGLESv2, etc, and then dispatches those calls to the underlying hardware driver. This allows a single libGL.so to work for Mesa and nvidia-drivers for example. If media-libs/raspberrypi-userland doesn't support libglvnd (which it doesn't as far as I can tell) that kind of throws a wrench in the plan for IMO minimal benefit.

That sounds like an awful device to run Gentoo on. I'd like to require libglvnd for all libGL providers and get rid of app-eselect/eselect-opengl. What do you suggest we do about raspberrypi-userland?

I'm hoping to enable libglvnd support in media-libs/mesa and x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers soon, and this is the only other package in Gentoo that uses app-eselect/eselect-opengl. Do we care to keep this now that Mesa's vc4 driver is in good shape? There are uses for raspberrypi-userland which the vc4 driver (last I checked at least) does not cover very well. The most important one is support for the 256 MB RAM devices (original RPi Model B), which works fine on raspberrypi-userland. vc4 still has issues if less than 256 MB RAM are allocated to the GPU.

At least, I've somewhere my modified release, which I've fixed for myself, since there were some bugs and added eselect-opengl support to this. What do you mean exactly with libglvnd or at what do you want to know? Conrad
